This is a command line interface and python web-api wrapper for [mail.tm](https://mail.tm).
The api is documented [here](https://api.mail.tm/).
## Dependencies
`xclip` or `xsel` for clipboard copying.
A browser to open incoming html emails.
## Installation
#### With pip
```bash
pip install pymailtm
```
#### In a virtual env
```bash
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install pymailtm
```
## Usage
The utility can be called with:
```bash
pymailtm
```
Remember that if you are in a virtual env you need to activate it first.
By default the command recover the last used account, copy it to the clipboard
and wait for a new message to arrive: when it does, it's opened in the browser
in a quick&dirty html view.
Exit the waiting loop by pressing `Ctrl+c`.
Calling the utility with the flag `-l` will print the account credentials, open
in the browser the [mail.tm](https://mail.tm) client and exit.
The flag `-n` can be used to force the creation of a new account.
## Security warnings
This is conceived as an **insecure**, fast throwaway temp mail account generator.
**DO NOT** use it with sensitive data.
Mails that arrive while the utility is running will be saved in **plain text**
files in the system temporary folder (probably `/tmp/`) so that they can be
opened by the browser.
The last used account's data and credentials will be saved in
**plain text** in `~/.pymailtm`.
## Development
Install [invoke](http://pyinvoke.org/) and [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/):
```bash
pip install invoke poetry
```
Now clone the git repo:
```bash
git clone [email protected]:CarloDePieri/pymailtm.git
cd pymailtm
inv install
```
This will try to create a virtualenv based on `python3.8` and install there all
project's dependencies. If a different python version is preferred, it can be
selected by specifying the `--python` (`-p`) flag like this:
```bash
inv install -p python3.8
```
The script can now be run directly by launching `inv run`. It also accepts flags,
for example:
```bash
inv run -n
```
The test suite can be run with commands:
```bash
inv test # run the test suite
inv test --full # run even tests that requires a graphical environment
inv test-spec # run the tests while showing the output as a spec document
inv test-cov # run the tests suite and produce a coverage report
```
Tests take advantage of [vcrpy](https://github.com/kevin1024/vcrpy) to cache
network requests and responses. If you need to clear this cache run:
```bash
inv clear-cassettes
```
To test the github workflow with [act](https://github.com/nektos/act):
```bash
inv act-dev # test the dev workflow
inv act-dev -c shell # open a shell in the act container (the above must fail first!)
inv act-dev -c clean # stop and delete a failed act container
```
